Larry is out of surgery and in sleeping soundly in ICU. The surgery went as well as to be expected. They found one lymph node that they will send away to pathology - we expected this since the cancer had spread to some of the lymph nodes that were taken out during the first surgery. They did take his gall bladder out, which we also knew was a possibility. During the extraction of the gall bladder, a little piece of the liver did come off and that will also be biopsied but Dr. Salti was not worried.
Dr. Salti also is hoping his recovery time in the hospital will be shorter since he did not have to cut any of the bowel or surrounding organs. This is fantastic news!!
The plan is to move him out of ICU within the next 24 hours.
So, that is all for now. We are just sitting in the room letting him sleep. I will update you more once we get settled and he starts to wake up.
Thank you to everyone for your support today, last week, last month....
it means so much!
Sox it to it Lar...
